Source: Qveen Herby / Qveen Herby Reinvention is often difficult for musical acts, especially those who achieved recognition at a level that may have suffocated their true artistic aims. For Qveen Herby , shaking loose the ghosts of music’s past has come relatively easy and she lands full circle with the release of her latest project, EP 7 . Some might remember Qveen Herby as one-half of the viral YouTube duo Karmin , who blew up after their cover of Chris Brown’s “Look At Me Now,” which led to a major record deal. However, the crushing weight of corporate meddling and a burning desire to be true to herself moved Qveen to embrace Hip-Hop music in a more organic fashion that still manages to capture the playful bounce of her past group. Now in the front all alone, Qveen has dropped her latest set, EP 7 , a matter of fact title that illustrates the number of short projects she’s released over the past two years with her ex-Karmin partner and boyfriend Jedii Nick on the boards willfully playing the back while Qveen takes centerstage. EP 7 is a kaleidoscopic audio journey that has the high-gloss sheen and sound of big pop tunes skilfully meshed with the hard, head nod-inducing bop of trap-influenced Hip-Hop. As a rapper, Qveen’s verbal dexterity and lyrical stylings are at times comically boastful yet entirely believable. Yes, the pop stylings are audibly present but this time, the music doesn’t feel packaged to only be played in some artisanal coffee joint for college kids who wear thick-soled shoes for an ironic fashion effect. EP 7 sounds like an album from a woman who knows exactly who she’s speaking to and for, all the while paying reverence to those who came before her with a chest-out bravado that her male counterparts in Hip-Hop wield fearlessly. With its lead single “Cheap Talk,” it would be fair to say that few would know what to expect of Qveen and that’s true across the five-song, 11-minute journey on EP 7 . To go along with the EP’s release, a video for the project’s lead track “Vitamins” was also unveiled to the public. When asked what Qveen Herby’s aims are with just dropping EPs over a full-length, she answered as confidently. “I love dropping EPs cuz it’s basically half an album every few months,” Qveen told us. “My team keeps getting tighter, I’m honing my craft, and my artistic vision for Qveen Herby is becoming more refined. Even my visuals have evolved to show more of my quirky persona and lean into my uniqueness. You can hear and see me becoming my true self through my EPs.” She added in her comments that she hopes to tour in the coming year and reconnect with her legion of fans across the globe, especially those who have stayed along for the ride to the switch from Karmin to Qveen Herby. In a tweet from last month, Qveen mentioned fellow fierce firebrand Rico Nasty after seeing the “Big T*tties” star in one of her dreams. When asked if their pair will collab soon, it appears that the idea is fresh on Qveen’s mind. “I have yet to connect with Rico Nasty but she’s so brilliant, saw her perform on tour with my friend/goddess Maliibu Miitch this past spring,” she shared.

Source: Ubisoft / Ghost Recon Breakpoint Ubisoft is taking its Ghost Recon franchise in a completely different direction with Breakpoint . The gaming studio invited Hip-Hop Wired.com for a unique hands-on preview of the game, and we left quite impressed with what we experienced. The developers for Ghost Recon: Breakpoint definitely listened to the community’s concerns while playing the previous title Wildlands . With Breakpoint , they set out to battle what hampered Wildlands , mainly the game’s repetitive nature that players fervently complained about. The preview was broken up into two parts, we got the experience Breakpoint’s campaign mode first with some PvE before we checked out the multiplayer. Immediately right after you finish customizing your characters look, you realize this isn’t the Ghost Recon you have grown accustomed too. In Wildlands and other Ghost Recon titles you were always the hunter, in Breakpoint , you are the hunted. The action takes place on the island of Auroa that is home to a tech company called Skell Technology that creates drones. However, the island gets taken over by former Ghost, Cole D. Walker ( Jon Bernthal ) and his army of Rogue ghost soldiers who cut the island off from the world. Bernthal puts his entire all in the character of Walker might we add and has been a great addition to the Ghost Recon franchise. You and your team are sent to investigate and are tasked with restoring communications. Things go left quickly, and your chopper is shot down. Once you wake up from the crash, you and your squad are tasked for looking for survivors while securing weapons and items along the way because you are practically naked. Initially, you and your fellow Ghosts were tasked to investigate the island Source: Ubisoft / Ghost Recon Breakpoint The game instantly introduces you to its new injury system, teaching you how to heal your character’s injuries. While traversing the fictional island of Auroa, you will encounter all types of rugged terrain like mountains, snow, swamps. The environment will either aid you in your fight to survive or can also slow you down or hurt you if you approach them in the wrong manner. The environment in itself is a character in the game and will impact your play. You will quickly discover there is a new camouflage system that will allow you to blend in with your surroundings. When activated, it will enable you to take out a baddie while prone or hide from harder enemies like the Wolves and drones that actively search for you. Source: Ubisoft / Ghost Recon Breakpoint Fans will find Breakpoint is similar to Wildlands as far as some elements from the previous title being present. But make no mistake Wildlands is a totally different beast. Survival is the key in this game with players having to do things like drink water, eat food, and as mentioned above, treat injuries to keep your character battle-ready. Players will be able to refill their canteens by either by merely locating a river or even a swimming pool. Also new to the game are bivouac campsites. While posted at one, players can equip buffs by eating or increase their character’s stamina by stretching. You can also plan ahead for your current missions for the camps. For example, if you want to attack a base at night, you can use the bivouac to skip to a time of the night when the guards are sleeping. As you can see preparation is key to your survival, and if you head out on a mission underprepared chances of survival are definitely slim. Source: Ubisoft / Ghost Recon Breakpoint Another great addition to the game is the fact is your player is fully customizable from your weapons, gear, and class which a new feature. All of that can also be changed at the bivouac. At the start of the game, you will be asked to choose between either being a Medic, Panther, Assualt, and Sharpshooter. Each has their own unique ability, like selecting the Medic class allows you to revive teammates utilizing a drone or even self-reviving your character. Once your type is selected, you will be able to unlock other abilities using a skill tree. This doesn’t mean you will have to stick with the first class you have chosen though, as you will be able to swap out classes when you visit a bivouac. Auroa is a huge map, so of course, getting around is made simpler and safer with the help of vehicles. You can either travel using an assortment of vehicles ranging from boats, helicopters, dirtbikes, and buggies. If you’re brave, you can travel by foot, but again you have to be wary of your stamina gauge, sustaining injuries and becoming dehydrated. Source: Ubisoft / Ghost Recon Breakpoint Staying on the topic of traveling to your missions, the developers definitely stressed the importance of players exploring Auroa the way they want and playing how they want. In Breakpoint , there is no one way to complete a mission giving you a choice to either go in guns blazing or with an excellent course of action. Also, like in Ubisoft’s other franchise Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey , Breakpoint won’t tell you where you need to go when you take on a mission. Instead, you will have to explore the island and hunt for intel and speak with NPCs to obtain that information. BUT if you’re not with that idea you can always turn on guide mode, but how much fun is that? Gunplay is also very smooth and easy to get accustomed to in the game. We were happy to see that developers focused on precision shooting more this time around. Headshots and well-placed shots are vital in helping dispatch your enemies quickly in firefights. Also returning fan-favorite sync shot, you and your team can put pins on enemies and coordinate takedowns with precision. Speaking with Breakpoint’s director, Eric Couzian, he even hinted at being able to sync up to 16 targets at one time. Thanks to the games new system using drones you collect in the game will help you accomplish this feat. Source: Ubisoft / Ghost Recon Breakpoint Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a new take on the Ghost Recon franchise, but like other titles playing alongside friends is what makes this game even more fun. The world of Auroa is vast and full of dangerous enemies. While playing alone and defeating insanely difficult Wolves, and drones by yourself could be rewarding, teaming up with your buddies is what Breakpoint is about at its core. That even transfers over to PvP, which we enjoyed playing thoroughly. We took on another team in two multiplayer modes, elimination, and sabotage on three of the six multiplayer maps that will be available at launch. Our favorite was Skell Port, a perfect setting for those who enjoy sniping. Your progress from your PvE play transfers over to PvP thanks to shared progression, which is very clutch. Sabotage was also surprisingly very fun. In this mode, you either have to plant a bomb or defuse it depending on your team. Thanks to the well thought out maps, planning is very crucial in ensuring victory because running gung ho to the objective just doesn’t cut it. My team learned that the hard way our first go-around, but we quickly rebounded when we decided to come up with a gameplan. Now for those wondering if there will be AI teammates in the game, Couzian revealed that option will not be available at launch but will be coming soon. So unless you squad up, you will be on your own during solo play. Based on what we experienced at the event, Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a welcome change in the series. We left very intrigued and are looking forward to getting our hands on the full game very soon. The action, story, survival mechanics, and emphasis on team play definitely pulled us in even more. We won’t be shocked if Breakpoint is one of the better games to drop this year. — Photo: Ubisoft / Ghost Recon Breakpoint
Bobby Brown Throwback Discussing Sex With Ghosts Everyone’s mind was blown when that tidbit of info from Bobby Brown’s memoir about the singer smashing Janet Jackson got dusted off and re-visted during his recent BET biopic . Welp, get ready to have your mind blown again, because there’s another little fun factoid that Bobby brought up in his book that somehow managed not to make it to the made-for-TV film about his life. Bobby Brown has had sexual intercourse with a ghost. Yes, you read that correctly. Look, we don’t know whose ghost it was or the intricacies of how ghost poon operates…but Bobby insists it went down, and largely without any of his consent. Robin Roberts seemed to be about an inch from telling Bobby to STFU with these lies and cocaine delusions…but Larry King was a bit more receptive to Bobby’s duppy-smashing tale and dug for more details… SMH. Welp, nobody can say Bobby hasn’t lived a full life, that’s for sure. Rick Rowell/ABC via Getty Images
A British woman who has claimed in the past to have had sexual intercourse with 20 different ghosts now says she has found The One. Indeed, Amethyst Realm sat down this week with The Sun and explained why a ghost she met several months ago on a trip to Australia is the last apparition with whom she’ll ever be intimate. “I’d not had a phantom fling for a while and as I was away on business, starting a new relationship was the last thing on my mind,” the 30-year old psychic said very seriously to this publication. But the heart wants what the heart wants. And you simply can’t fight true love, even when you can’t see the creature you’re in love with. “One day, while I was walking through the bush, enjoying nature, I suddenly felt this incredible energy. A new lover had arrived,” Realm told The Sun . Sadly, however, Realm had to head back home to Great Britain, heartbroken over leaving her very spiritual lover behind. “From experience, I knew spirits tend to stay in one place, but something amazing happened,” she said, detailing how she felt the presence of this ghost on the plane and adding: “I was happy and excited – so excited that we had to do something about it. So we headed to the plane loo and, well, I am now a member of the Mile High Club.” Realm went viral in December of 2017 when she appeared on ITV This Morning and told the hosts that she had been sleeping with Casper-like individuals since 2005. It all started when she moved into a haunted house with her boyfriend. “It started as an energy, then became physical,” she said on this progra, of the first time she banged a ghost. “There was pressure on my thighs and breath on my neck. I just always felt safe. I had sex with the ghost. You can feel it. It’s difficult to explain.” Realm continued to sleep with this ghost for three years. Since they split, she estimates that she’s been with about 20 similar creations and that she’s open to having a ghost baby. Woman Says She Had Sex with 20 Ghosts And now she knows who she wants to father this potential child. After nine months of being with her unnamed ghost lover, Realm told The Sun that he proposed at the Wookey Hole caves tourist attraction in Somerset. “Halfway through the tour, he told me he wanted to hang back from the group,” she explains. “That’s when it happened. There was no going down on one knee – he doesn’t have knees! But for the first time, I heard him speak.” No knees, but vocal cords? Sure, why not?!? Amethyst alleges that the question “Will you marry me?” echoed around the cave. “It’s hard to explain but, until that point, his words were inside my head. But, on that day, the words were outside. I could actually hear his voice and it was beautiful. Deep, sexy and real.” Realm adds that nothing she really does or says can “faze” her “alternative” family members, all of whom support her decision to marry a ghost. The betrothed psychic isn’t sure when she and her fiance will get married, but she can easily explain why she’s drawn to ghosts in the bedroom. You may prefer to stop reading now, all non-ghosts. This may be difficult to digest… “Ghost lovers tend to be more sensual and adept than the average bloke,” she says, adding for all to consider: “There’s always more of a connection, because the sex goes beyond physical. It’s like any other kind of sex. The main difference is I just can’t see them. “I feel them, though, their weight against me, their touch, the warmth and energy that just sinks into me. “Sometimes I get the feeling that I’m being moved. Orgasms I have with my spirit lovers have been way more satisfying than any I’ve had with ordinary men.”

Woman Claims She’s Engaged To A Ghost After Having Sex With 20 Paranormal Peens It’s Halloween and there’s no shortage of strange stories about white folks circulating on the internet. That said, one English woman is going viral after she claims to have had sex with 20 ghosts. She also says she’s now engaged to an apparition that hit it right. From Huffington Post : “Amethyst Realm, 30, of Bristol, says she has had sex with at least 20 ghosts since she was a teenager but wasn’t looking for a new relationship when she went to Australia on a business trip. However, she says that changed on a nature hike when she came into contact with an apparition and felt sparks like none she’s ever known.” “Realm didn’t think it could amount to anything serious because she says spirits tend to stay in one place, but something amazing happened on her flight home: She felt the presence of her lover on the plane, and apparently not stowed in cargo.” She told The Sun: ‘ ‘ I couldn’t believe it. I was happy and excited — so excited that we had to do something about it. So we headed to the plane loo,’ And, well, I am now a member of the Mile High Club.” Nine months later, Realm says he popped the question and she’s ready to have cute Casper babies. So how did it all happen? Well, she at least didn’t claim to have seen him. She told The NY Post : “There was no going down on one knee — he doesn’t have knees. But for the first time, I heard him speak. I could actually hear his voice, and it was beautiful. Deep, sexy and real.” Realm is reportedly counting on Casper to eventually pick out her engagement ring. She then plans to do a Pagan “handfasting” ceremony, “i n which their hands are tied together, symbolizing their connection,” she said. “It’ll be somewhere in the English countryside. We haven’t discussed the details yet, but I think it will be quite a big do.” Will she get along with her phantom in-laws? Stay tuned.
The clip of ‘Two Ghosts’ from Harry Styles’s ‘Behind the Album: The Performances’ looks like a behind-the-scenes Instagram post brought to life and we’re here for it.
The passing of Robert Kardashian Sr. clearly impacted all of his children. And while arguably the long-term effects have been the most detrimental on Rob — poor Rob — it’s clear that Khloe’s still massively attached to her father. So attached, in fact, that she seeks communications from him on Hollywood Medium . This is definitely not the first time that Hollywood Medium Tyler Henry has read for Khloe, but she keeps coming back for more. Previously, he’s met with her and with Kris Jenner for the taping of his own show. Before that, he appeared on a Season 11 episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians , where he got a sense of the smell of neckties the moment that he entered her home. And once Khloe got a taste of that opportunity to cross-promote her brand spiritual experience, she knew that she had to repeat it. Back when he met Kris, Tyler had mentioned getting something about a little monkey, but Kris Jenner had had no idea what he meant — but Khloe did. Khloe had known that it referred to a stuffed monkey that had been her father’s since childhood and which he’d had on his hospice bed with him. Understandably, Kris Jenner had been less focused on the stuffed animal during her ex-husband’s final days. Khloe, however, had held onto it ever since he died and she’s carried with her from house to house. For Tyler Henry’s sort of reading — because there are all types of mediums, folks — he does best if he touches an object of significance to form a connection to the person who has passed. So, as revealed in an E! sneak peek , Khloe gives him the monkey to hold in the hopes that it will help him contact her late father. “There’s a feeling that comes across and it is in reference to dad’s passing,” Tyler tells her. “There’s a feeling of not having full closure, of not being there in the moment of passing.” Oh, right to talk about his death, huh? Not the most cheerful topic but, obviously it’s gonna come up. “There’s a feeling of like, ‘I don’t want you to be there when I’m actually passing away,’ It’s like, ‘For your sake I want you to just not have that in your memory.” Watching this from the other room, Kylie quietly notes that it’s interesting, because, as she recalls, Robert Kardashian passed when family wasn’t there. Of course, Kylie would have been, what, five at the time? Somewhere around there. Tyler Henry continues. “And there’s a feeling when this comes through that he actually would’ve timed his passing.” People can sort of will themselves to live a little longer or give up on life — not as dramatically as Padme Amidala in Star Wars , but there are people who died right after retirement or who cling to life just long enough to make sure that their affairs are in order and then pass away days later. “The feeling is that he was holding on and he was waiting and that would’ve been done with purpose and with intention.” We don’t think that Tyler’s suggesting that Robert Kardashian chose to die or anything like that. But everyone, even the terminally ill, tries to put on a brave face for the ones they love. In this case, Khloe says that Robert held on long enough to say goodbye to his entire family, and then finally passed when he wasn’t in their presence. “That was his way of having closure,” Tyler Henry concludes. Presumably, there will be more in the full episode, because Tyler telling Khloe stuff that she basically already knows isn’t the most riveting television. Though it might have been if Khloe were one of the skeptics that Tyler’s had on his show. For Khloe, though, this isn’t her first picnic with the ghosts of family past. Hopefully the full episode won’t harp on Khloe’s unresolved daddy issues the whole time. There has to be more to her … right?
Over the weekend, a shocking preponderance of Harry Styles–related conversation focused on two very important subjects: (1) Whether “Two Ghosts” was written about Taylor Swift, and (2) whether “Ever Since New York” was written about Taylor Swift. Harry, understandably, declined to confirm or deny either burning question. “I mean, I think it’s pretty, like, self-explanatory,”… Read more »
